To Sneak English Correctly.

A certain Mr.. Rockfellow has undertaken to
teach the children of Arizona to speak the English
language correctly. The following simple, but
often ignored laws of speech are said to be writ
ten in great letters on the wall of the school-room
"My scholars must not pronounce dreadful
sdretful; or catch, ketch or newspaper, 'noos-
paper;' or society, sassety;' or February, 'Febu-
ary;' or Massachusetts,, Massachusetts, or eleven,
'Ieven; : or hight, 'hithe; or drouth, 'drowthe.'
They must not say 'fur' for for, git red Of for
get rid of. They must not say 'anywheres' or mo-
where's or anyways" or "a long ways or those
sort of things those kind, for that sort and that
kind They must not say 'he don't for he doesn't,
and they must never use the word Amt They
must soften the u in such words as duty and oppor-
tunity, and not pronounce them 'dooty' and 'op-
portoonity.' They must not drop final &c or leave
out of words their his. They must not half pro-
nounce, must not say gray DEAL for great deal.
Every word demands the full, authorized, verbal
mention of all its letters"

Raining Sulphur.-The Baltimore Sun of
Saturday says: "Prof. Charles G. Hill, of Airing
ton, Baltimore county, brought yesterday to the
Sun office specimen of what is popularity called
rain of sulphur, which he collected near Mt. Hope
after a recent rain-storm Scientists have decided
that the matter is vegetable pollen, which, given
off in immense quantities, is carried away by the
upper air currents, and may be deposited thous-
pollen must have been brought from great dis
lance, as nothing like it is ever seen about the
forests or fora of Baltimore county. He found
that under the microscope the pollen looks like
the spores of the common puff-bal found so abun-
dainty about the old fields of Baltimore county
in August and September

Like Three Roses on a Stem.

There was born in Foshen on March 26, 1888, a
triplet of girls, who made one of the most remark
able records known. They were Sibyl, Sarah and
Susan Hurlburt, children of Gideon and Ann
(Beach) Hurlburt. For the great period of eighty
seven years this triplet remained unbroken, Shy
dying first at that age in June, 1875. Her welded
name was Luddington. In October of the next
year Susan (Mrs. Grennell) died at the age of SIS.
Sarah lived to the age of 50, dying on January IL,
1883. Her welded name was Bushnell. These
sisters looked so much alike-particularly Mrs.
Grennell and Mrs. Bushnell-that up to rs or 80
years of age it was difficult for the most intimate
friends to tell them apart, and they would mistake
one another among themselves.

GETTING READY FOR SUMMER.

Miss Rosa Tompkins, age nineteen,
The mytkic hammock swings,
With dreams of Saratoga trunks
And miscellaneous things.
She practises her attitudes,
And learns to row boat;
Then reads the book of household rhyme
For something nice to quote.
Algernon Tompkins, fully grown,
Is fixing for the trip,
And twines the microscopic hairs
That haunt his upper lip.
He studies the accomplishments
By summer bellies admired,
And strives to catch the latest trick
Of looking weak and tired.
While Mrs. Tompkins looks ahead,
With busy thoughts oppressed,
And brushes up the family tree
And exc the family crest.
Although the coat of arms be new
And slim the family tree,
IT'S well to claim the bluest blood
Beside the deep blue sea.
But Mr.. Tompkins strives to know,
With pencil in his hand,
Just how severe seashore strain
His bank account will stand,
And looking at the matter with
A speculative eye,
He thinks that swell society
Ought not to come 80 high.

A $40 GOO cow Sold For $50.

The famous COW Electa, for which her owner,
A. ]. Cowan, of Venango county, Pa, once refused
$4,000, was sold by him to an Oil City butcher
the other day for $50, she having been ruined by
overlooking. Although this COW stood at the head
of all milk producers in this country few years
ago, her pedigree was never known. She came to
Cowan's farm as estray. She was famous
prize winner.

Care Of Farm Tools THE editor of Our Coun-
try Home says: "Horse rakes cost from $25 to $40
each; but, of course, the ordinary farmer can af-
ford to buy new one every year. Oh yes he is
getting rich out of his farm. During a recent
trip of less than 200 miles we noticed six horse
rakes in as many fields. No need to ask how
they came there-they were carelessly left after
the haying season last fall. And yet some of our
farmer friends are moaning and groaning over
their ill-luclE, they term it, but are so blind
they cannot see the constant leakage in their as
sets by negligence in caring for expensive i'm
PIGMENTS, and other things. Oh, for stroke of
something to awaken our agricultural people from
their lethargyv'

Protecting Animals from FIies.-At this season
of the year the annoyance caused to animals by
flies and mosquitoes often amounts to positive
agony, and at all times, in what is called good
corn weather, it is sufficient to prevent the stock
eating enough to keep them in good condition.
The animals will stand in the water or pass the
greater part of the day in the shade, rather than
expose themselves to the sunshine, going out to
eat only when driven by hunger They quickly
lose flesh, the flow of milk shrinks, and loss is
incurred that cannot be easily made good again.
At all times a good feed of grain is beneficial to
stock, but it is especially SO when flies are very
annoying, since it will do much to prevent shrink
age of flesh and milk. Horses and milch COWS
may be protected, in great measure at least, by
wiping them all over with sponge dipped in soap
suds in which little carbolic acid has been
mixed. Bulls confined in stables often suffer
enough from the attacks of flies to drive them
half mad, and there is no doubt that the contin-
ued fretting caused in this way develops a savage
disposition. The most satisfactory results have
followed from spOnging with soap suds and car
bolic acid mixed.
